npub188q3683vez7v4mnugjv4nf6ud3z9mkn2h7kgc76z6ph6advw5vdqdj3jlx (npub188q…3jlx) I wouldn’t be too sure. YouTube Vanced was very popular among those who used adblock, and after its death many people started using Invidious, Piped, etc..
I definitely think this would diminish the use of adblock specifically, but anyone bothered enough would still have a solution. It’s a bit like youtube plugging a leak in a dam with their finger. That one hole isn’t the problem. The only way they could really stop people from using adblocker is forcing a YT account, completely blocking API access, making them have YT installed locally etc… So long as YouTube is externally accessible at all, there will more than likely be a decently convenient way to block ads on it. For that matter, I doubt it will be long before Ublock and others find a way around it
